I don’t like these tag games but I decided to participate in this one…

I have been tagged by Lynn!

Rules:

1.) Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.

2.) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3.) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

4.) Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

7 facts about myself…

  1. I have only ever dated one person, who is now my husband.
  2. I have never had a drink of alcohol.
  3. When I was 16 I decided I would name my first son Liam, and 10 years later, when I had my first child (a son) I named him Liam.
  4. I have lived in 18 residents in 28 years, the longest was 9 years and the shortest was 2 months.
  5. I have lived in Italy and in Japan.
  6. Growing up I wanted to be a writer.
  7. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and live in the Tobacco State where smoking is allowed in public places.

Now to tag… Hmmm… Don’t really want to tag anyone, so if you wish to do this then you can post a link to your blog in my comments.

Here is a layout I made today of my sorta first mother’s day. I was 5 months pregnant. I had gone to a mother’s day event on base and ended up winning a photo of myself in a Kimono. The Japanese ladies who dressed me were all excited about me having a baby too! They just love babies!

Journaling: I was a long way from family. I was 5 months pregnant for the first time and it was mother’s day. I was all alone, my husband sleeping after a night shift. The shining moment of the day was winning a photo of myself in an authentic Japanese Kimono. Yokota AFB, Japan. May 8, 2005.

I am still scrapping my baby photos…

I am absolutely loving this new kit, Calista, by Kristy Valshan.

The colors are perfect for spring, Easter, or special moments like the one I scrapped about:

My Little Sister

Journaling: My little sister was born on my birthday. I did not get to see her though. I was glad to have a little playmate. I really wanted to hold her when she finally came home. I wasn’t allowed to. They said I was too young and she was too delicate. Finally when she was 3 months old, they allowed me to hold my little “Cobby”.

Also make sure you visit the Kristy Valshan blog for a free quickpage made using Calista.

Journaling: It was October 29, 1983. It was Colleen’s and my birthday. We really wanted a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party. Our mom made the cake. We absolutely loved it. I think is may have even been strawberry cake (my favorite).
